No charges from accidental shooting at ExpoMart gun show

Monroeville police don't plan to file any charges in relation to a shooting that took place on Saturday at a gun show at the ExpoMart.
The shooting appeared to be accidental, according to police.

They said that at about 11:25 a.m., John Hannah, a 61-year-old resident of Tipton and vendor at the show, handed a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun to John Bogesdorfer, 61, of Monroeville, a visitor at the show.

While in Bogesdorfer's hands, the gun went off and hit Walter Gladowski, 65, of Monroeville, in the shin, even though guns on display at such shows are not supposed to be loaded.

Gladowski, who was standing about 32 feet away from Bogesdorfer when the gun went off, was taken to Mercy Hospital, treated and released. His injury was not life-threatening, police said.

Monroeville police concluded the shooting was accidental because Bogesdorfer and Gladowski didn't know each other.
